Discover Schlatzendorf through its village events, outdoor activities in the forest and range of accommodation options. The calendar includes the annual Maypole raising and Christmas market, as well as a children’s play day every two years and a village championship in Preisschafkopf (a traditional Bavarian card game). Accommodation options include holiday apartments, Feriendorf Schwarzholz and Adventure Camp Schnitzmühle. If you’re planning a visit, you can consider event dates and accommodation separately.
Village Events Throughout the Year
The Maypole in Schlatzendorf is raised every year on April 30 at Gasthaus Sonnenblick. The Schlatzendorf Volunteer Fire Brigade takes the lead in organizing the event. Also at Gasthaus Sonnenblick, the Schlatzendorf village community has held a village championship in Preisschafkopf since 2016; since 2023, it has been an open championship.
The Schlatzendorf village community’s children’s play day takes place every two years at the Mitterweg playground. The Christmas market is one of the village community’s annual traditional events. The events therefore differ in frequency: the Maypole raising and Christmas market return every year, while the children’s play day takes place every two years. Check the schedule for the year of your visit, especially if you’re planning to come specifically for one of these events.
Running Group in the Schlatzendorf Forest
A regular opportunity to get active is the WSV Viechtach running group, which meets in the Schlatzendorf Forest on Mondays at 6:30 p.m. from April to October. Its weekly schedule sets it apart from the village festivals and less frequent community events. If you’d like to include the running group in your travel plans, check the current schedule in advance.
Holiday Apartments and Other Accommodation
Accommodation in the Schlatzendorf district includes holiday apartments, Feriendorf Schwarzholz and Adventure Camp SchnitzmĂĽhle, with an attractive campsite right on the Schwarzer Regen. Together, these offer a range of different accommodation options. At Adventure Camp, guests can stay in accommodation right on the Schwarzer Regen. These include a lodge with a larch-wood walkway and views of the starry sky. If being by the river matters to you, Adventure Camp offers these specifically named places to stay; the lodge also has the walkway described above and views of the starry sky.
The holiday apartments and holiday village add to these specific examples of places to stay by the river. To choose, you can first consider what kind of accommodation you’re looking for: a holiday apartment, a holiday village, a campsite or a lodge. The lodge combines a stay right on the Schwarzer Regen with a larch-wood walkway and views of the starry sky.
A Seasonal Detail at the Old Brickworks
A stork’s nest sits on the chimney of the Old Brickworks in Schlatzendorf. A local report dated July 1, 2025, recorded three young storks there; activity at the nest is seasonal. The report offers a specific glimpse of local wildlife, but does not imply that the nest can be observed year-round.
